The use of Hounds for deer hunting in the low country of SC has been a part of SC since the state had a legal deer season. With every new year comes new opposition for the Dog hunters of SC. Alot of people have a sour taste about dog hunting due the few clubs or people who choose not to do things the right way and these people need to be stopped but  that should not place a black cloud over all dog hunting in SC. Every year something comes across your desk wanting to do away with or restrict the use of hounds for deer hunting but before any actions be taken please research the sport and understand the deep roots dog hunting has in SC and the generation upon generation that has passed this tradition down. Us as SC Dog hunters are willing to do anything within reasonable measure to work with still hunters and farmers to make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable hunt no matter the method they choose.
